2. When I told you this is a no-shoes household you said, "Ugh, I hate those." You immediately realized what you'd said and checked to see if I was upset. I laughed it off in the moment, but no.
3. You wanted to high-five me for having a hot husband.
4. You lacked initiative. When I asked what you'd do to fill a full day, all you could say was "Whatever you want me to."
5. When I asked you to wash your hands before I gave you the baby, you wiped them on your jeans as you replied "Oh, my hands are clean."
6. You asked about benefits. Right away. In detail.

This is why I don't like to hire women in my under 50 employees company. You do not do your job and spend all your time on the phone obsessing about your brats.

Not only is this illegal (see the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act), but it's disgusting. Especially since I'm sure the majority of posters chiming in that they don't hire women because they could get pregnant have benefited in the workplace from these very protections.

While this may be disgusting it is not illegal.

Almost all of the laws on discrimination and employment do NOT apply to Household Employers. The reason is the laws define an employer by the number of employees they have. If you don't meet the definition on an employer according to the law, the law doesn't apply to you. Since most household employers only employ 1 or 2 people, the laws don't apply to them.

I wish more nannies would do their research and know their rights before always shouting out "that's illegal" when these types of discussions come up.

And I promise you all these women who are saying this is disgusting and illegal would also never hire someone they thought might soon get pregnant and pay the nanny maternity leave! lol

Most MBs don't get PAID maternity leave, either.
